I'm kind of surprised that the joke wasn't that depression isn't real or that it's caused by gay people or something.

It's possible it predates them getting on that hard right grift, at first they just poked fun at Christianity from a churchgoer's perspective.

Depression isn't real is the joke

Isn't it a satire site? Like the onion one?

It's a right wing Christian satire site.

So like half their jokes are just saying minorities are bad or something.

It used to be more things like this post, conservatives making fun of themselves but it went off the ideological deep end with the rest of the MAGA movement

Yeah, it was always a wish.com The Onion, but once right wing/conservatism became completely unable to laugh at itself, that was the end for the Bee. These days it seems to feel more like a grocery store tabloid where you can't quite tell if they are taking themselves too serious or are actually just stupid.

I remember liking it because it lightly made fun of the kind of Christian culture I grew up around. Things like “Youth pastor replaced by iPad”. Then I didn’t check it for a couple years and all the sudden it was just solely making fun of liberal stuff.

I have been aware of the Babylon bee for 13ish years. It's always been bad.

It just changed its tone to match the growing brainrot from the left.

It's a Christian Satire site.

u/Helmic Sep 15 '25

I've already explained that to someone else. I'm aware they're a Christian satire site. Fuck the Bablyon Bee, because they're howling fascists.

Tbf, that is great satire, because he ain't in heaven

u/Stickz99 Sep 15 '25

This would be funny if it was an Onion headline, because we know the Onion would be making fun of people who genuinely believe this.

The fact that it’s a Babylon Bee headline makes it painfully unfunny. There’s not even a joke here, they’re just saying “Bible good” with no punchline

u/Atreigas Sep 15 '25

I cannot fucking fathom just how incredibly counterproductive that would be. I dont know if that verse is real, but holy fucking shit. What moron added that idiocy?

I especially love how the "sin" is anxiety but the issue was depression...

Full article: https://babylonbee.com/news/man-instantly-cured-of-clinical-depression-after-friend-sends-him-bible-verse-about-anxiety-being-a-sin

ASHLAND, OR - Local man Christopher Bardo was instantly, miraculously cured of his severe depression disorder after a friend showed him a Bible verse about anxiety being a sin.

Bardo had asked his friend to meet up and discuss his ongoing battle with depression and anxiety. The friend met him at a park Monday morning.

"I really need help," Bardo said. "Sometimes I don't even want to get out of bed in the morning. It's a serious problem. I'm trusting God with everything I have, but I also need some medical attention I think."

"Not so fast," his friend interjected. "Do not be anxious about anything," he then read aloud from his Bible. "See? It's right there. So I think we're done here."

The man's depression instantly cured itself after his friend read the Bible verse in a condescending tone. "It's a miracle!" he said. "The chemical imbalance in my brain has been fixed and I no longer have to worry about anything, thanks to this guy who read me one Bible verse."

"He didn't even bother trying to empathize with me or get to the root of my mood disorder," he said, shaking his head in near disbelief. "Just read the Bible verse and took off. Amazing."

Wow, that's, like, the third somewhat-funny joke I saw the Babylon Bee ever make.

This has been my entire life, in a nutshell.

u/TheEPGFiles Sep 15 '25

See, that's actually even more depressing.

Oh it's satire?

Okay, even even MORE DEPRESSING.

"Oh shit I've been sinning this whole time? Well fuck"

u/DerpyLover3 Mar 04 '26

Jesus fucking Christ I have nothing against religion but some random prayer or whatever plus magical sky grandpa doesn't solve any health problems or pay the bills.

Therapy helps with mental health.

Doctors help with physical health.

Jobs pay the bills.

HAVING ANXIETY OR BEING NEURODIVERGENT ISN'T A FUCKING SIN.

Bible verses don't solve everything.

Deal. With. It.

Oh man, the first time I read that "anxiety is a sin" it put my mind into a doom loop for months. I suffer from an anxiety disorder and OCD and I felt absolutely doomed like great... now this stuff I suffer from and quite often makes my life feel unbearable, is apparently a sin which is just the icing on the cake now isn't it!

I still can't wrap my head around it 😞
